BRAZILIAN striker Hulk took four hours to produce a urine sample for drug testing after he losing almost an entire stone.
The former Porto player ran his socks off and was left so dehydrated that he claims he drank 30 litres of water - but still struggled to produce the urine.
The 35-year-old's efforts were in vain as his Atletico Mineiro side lost 2-0 on the night to Flamengo.
The result meant they were dumped out of the Copa do Brasil 3-2 on aggregate.
And as if Hulk's night could not get any worse, he was then subjected to a doping test that happen at random for professional football players.
His tireless running saw him lose nearly stone in weight - and unable to produce urine.
